Finding Love Online


Finding Love Online
The beginning-

I was not looking for love…in fact I didn’t care about finding some one because I lost my husband to cancer so I felt I could never find a good man much less fall in love ever again! I have a few friends who play a game called Second Life and they suggested I try it. So I did.

At first I was new or a “noob” and didn’t even know how to walk or even how to change my appearance. Over time I figured that out!

On my two and a half months of me being on second life or “SL” as we call it; I got asked out to be someone’s girlfriend. I said yes…how ever he hurt me and played games and we broke up.

I was pissed off and fed up.  I know I shouldn’t have been so emotional about my online animated pixilated relationship because to some people it’s “not a real relationship” in some people’s eyes.  That is not true when someone is manipulating my emotions and accusing me of cheating on him (when I am not), only to find that he went to this other girl and claimed that they were together while he was accusing me of cheating on him.

Then I met him…

After being fed up from my Ex. So called wannabe pixilated boyfriend…and his harassment- I after that loser, decided to stay single and then I took it even deeper that I “vowed” to stay single.

Oh my! Was I wrong!

I met my Second life partner while I was in my relationship with my ex. At first glance Skunkp Ghostraven was annoying! I didn’t want anything to do with him. But one day we hung out and got to know each other. We got to be good friends at first. Then my ex broke up with me, I still didn’t look at “SK” in “that way”.   This time I was being cautious. Well Skunkp Ghostraven has been my partner on 9-30-10. We decided to make it official in real life too on that day.

We still have some issues that we never met in person.  As in communication, we use Skype to talk. I see him on camera because he is in Canada and I am in the USA. Its not the same, I wish he was here with me in the USA. He is 18 and I am 32…BIG age difference.  I have learned that age has no barriers when it comes to love, but it’s a serious thorn in my side. I want to be with I’m in person so badly but there are laws about marriage if you are in different countries, which are aggravating!

Sadly, we both have things holding us in our countries. And we even almost broke up over it.

The good news is that he is still with me!

SO there is some hope for online love…but mine is a rare case!
